Mass Communication

Journalism has a lot of scope in the present scenario. From a small newspaper to a big news channel, journalists are considered the right hand of Media and the transparent shield to connect the Government with the public. Journalism today is more than an art of writing as it includes creative submission of the mindset and skillful passion towards your approach of the subjects as it is one of the most competitive field in the market at present. The scope is endless but you'll have to begin from small. Depending on the colleges/institutes you choose, exposure you get, the practical knowledge you attain will define most of your further future. You can become a TV journalist, print Journalist, radio Journalist, fashion journalist, cyber journalist and much more from deciding your field of interest. And this will further take you to the dreams of your second part of the question. A News Anchor these days is more than reading news from the Tele-prompter and saying what's flashing on the screen but more about how spontaneous one can keep a control of the situation to survive the anchoring field. Language is a plus point and you should be perfect in at least one of the languages that you speak. So, yes, a News Anchor is a path from Journalism and I hope you'll make sure to take it seriously. I hope you'll build an informed decision. Feel free to ask more for further queries. All the best.

Hi Aditya, This is interesting that TV Anchors don't become anchor's right from the first day they enter media or journalism. There is a long learning and practice period. I shall say that one becomes an anchor by Excellent Speaking Skills and Skill to manage in front of the Camera. Linguistic Skills and General Awareness also helps a lot I'm joining the career of Media. Remember that Courses are available in the TV Production, Radio Jockeying, Video Jockeying and News Anchoring as exclusive and a Degree which is comprehensive of the Media domain is also offered. The Pricing/Salary shall vary from INR. 10k - INR. 25k at joining a small channel, and then gradually you rise to get around INR. 50k. Further, growth in pricing is possible only when you are capable enough and get excellent growth opportunities.
